Skul: The Hero Slayer | Items and Quintessences

Overview

Items are stored in your ‘Inventory’. The inventory can hold up to nine Items, after which you’ll have to switch between items through a simple menu. Luckily, Items are not a waste after that, too, as you can ‘scrap’ them for Gold. Quintessences are special Items, of which you can hold just one. All of them provide you with a temporary Buff and additional active effect – some of which are becoming invincible, knocking back enemies, and the like.

  • Purchased from another tender at the Shop; entered by taking the blue gates that are littered with signs. However, unlike the Item salesman, who always shows up, the Quintessence salesman shows up sparingly.
